Conservative NJ-GOV Candidate: Poll Showing Me Losing Primary Is "Retarded"

[camera obscura]

Steve Lonegan, the conservative insurgent candidate running in today's New Jersey Republican gubernatorial primary against establishment favorite Chris Christie, sure has a way with words.

Appearing on a local radio show yesterday, Lonegan was asked about a new Fairleigh Dickinson poll showing Christie ahead by a 54%-30% margin. Lonegan then referred to the poll as "retarded," prompting radio host Casey Bartholomew to make sure he'd heard the candidate correctly.

"I said just that," said Lonegan, "retarded Fairleigh Dickinson poll."

7. yeah

at least I won't have to see half the signs or attack ads anymore.

That reminds me to vote in the primary today, even though all the Democrats are running unopposed.
